I decided against getting dressed, putting the cat out, getting my wellies on (snowing), walking outside in the freezing cold, de-icing the car, risking an accident by driving out of our unsalted estate, driving 7 miles to the nearest Sainsburys, finding a car parking space, walking around the store no doubt falling to the temptation to buy several items I don't need, queuing up to pay, and doing all the above again in reverse and instead sat here on my ample **** and hit 'BUY NOW!'

I guess the whole proper shopping thing is lost on me.

Thanks for the heads-up OP. My purchase is in the post - I am here in the warm.

Yep, my comment was to be informative, rather than critical.

Some people actually have to go to the supermarket to buy food and other domestic supplies, so if you were in the mood to buy this dvd, you could do so whilst shopping.

Oh, and it's not snowing where I live, although I wouldn't make a special trip to Sainsburys just to buy this dvd either.
